The Laurentian rocks and metamorphism

Transactions of the Edinburgh Geological Society, 1885
In the early days of geology, as geologists are aware, granite and the associated highly metamorphic rocks were called ‶Primary Rocks,″ as from their position they were supposed to be the oldest rocks. This misnomer, in the early days of geology, was not an unnatural one, as these early observers supposed that strata accumulated by a process very ...

Metamorphism of Granitoid Rocks

2002
Granitoid rocks comprise granite, alkali-feldspar granite, granodiorite and tonalite. They constitute the largest portion of the continental crust. Granitoid gneisses, commonly migmatites, are in fact the dominant rock type of the continents. Because the main constituents — alkali-feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, biotite, muscovite, hornblende — are ...

Metamorphic Rocks of Iran

2021
In this chapter, all metamorphic rocks of Iran have been studied and evaluated from the perspective of metamorphic facies, protoliths and their relationship with magmatic and orogenic phases. The distribution of metamorphic rocks is described along with the geological map and the grade of metamorphism.

DENSITIES OF METAMORPHIC ROCKS

GEOPHYSICS, 1971
Although metamorphic rocks comprise a large part of the crystalline crust, relatively few data concerning metamorphic rock densities are available. In this paper, we present rock densities from seven different metamorphic terrains. Mean densities for rock types range from [Formula: see text] for biotite granite gneiss to [Formula: see text] for ...

A classification of metamorphic rocks

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1917
Introduction The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive classification of metamorphic rocks, the attempt being made to work out a satisfactory scheme without the introduction of new terms. In this proposed classification the main principles are based on (1) origin of the rocks, (2) rock structure, and (3) composition.
